The Smalley star, who trails Italian ace Max Biaggi (Aprilia) by 37 points going into Sunday's race at Brno in the Czech Republic, twice tumbled in the official WSB tyre test at Imola, Italy, last week. In the first incident, he lost the front wheel of his Alstare Suzuki. Then he fell again when he tangled with fellow Brit Shane Byrne (Ducati) as he attempted to regain control of his bucking bike in the closing minutes Sexy Costumes of the final session. Byrne needed stitches to repair a badly cut hand, while Haslam, escaped with only slight damage to tender areas of his anatomy. He said: "It has been very hectic recently because after the San Marino race, we had a two-day test in Imola and then attending the Goodwood Festival of Speed. "Unfortunately, I had a couple of get-offs at Imola and bashed a delicate area of my body but it will not affect me on the bike. I'm fit and ready to battle Brno and I want to start my summer holiday with some more podiums." Despite his double spill, Haslam finished the test in third place overall having resolved engine issues that had hampered him during the previous round of the championship at Misano. Haslam said: "On one hand I've done a lot of damage to the machines but we have to look at the fact that we needed to test, to explore new settings and obviously to try and get the best from the new Pirelli tyres, we've achieved all of that. "We were pretty desperate for some testing so I couldn't wait to get to Imola. The test was good in terms of getting through everything we wanted to try but I had a couple of crashes that I could have done without. "I'm happy that we've improved the machine and now it feels like we're heading into the second half of the season and certainly the part that really counts.

The 27-year-old relinquished the championship lead to in-form Biaggi at the American round and fell further behind in Misano, where he finished eighth and second in the two races. Biaggi in the meantime has hit a rich vein of form, winning four races on the trot - an unprecedented achievement in a series renowned for its close racing. Haslam added: "I like the Brno circuit because it has a bit of everything really. There are a lot of ups and downs and it is a challenging track to ride and one that requires a good bike set-up. "Max is obviously the rider to beat at the moment because he and his bike are working really well together. But, I'm going to fight all the way this weekend and hopefully claw some of the points back."
